Overview

Tessmannianthus quadridomius is a species of plant in the family Melastomataceae. It is endemic to Colombia.

Tessmannianthus quadridomius faces severe population decline primarily due to extensive deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its limited range in the Amazon Basin. Agricultural expansion, logging activities, and infrastructure development have significantly reduced the availability of suitable forest habitat, while the species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats.
